Yeah, I was going to comment on how useless the camera person was. They hadn't a clue what they were looking at. Most of the time, they were filming empty space. What a waste! If you've got a job to do, then do some damn research before lumbering in to do it. Especially with music. The videographer here ruined this live performance with their own lameness.
So frustrating. Some of the commenters tried saying the camera "man" was a probably a woman, and that's why. Unlikely. If a woman was actually doing camera those days in particular, they'd be at the top of their game, doing the best they could. And you don't have to be a heterosexual anything to appreciate Ivy and more importantly, her guitar playing.
This band played in my town a million times back in their day, and I never once saw them. I don't know why--I went to shows all the time. I regret the heck out of it. Nowadays I can't get enough of them. This vid is a recent discovery and I think it's one of their better ones. They have the absolute perfect attitude for a band.
Most bands have their ups and downs, from flash in the pan to forgotten is the trend I've seen, over all. The cramps were always spot on, intense, all out, if anything they steadily got better, but they were always good...never b another like them. Part of R&R died with Lux, RIP buddy!
Someone explain to me wtf's up with the camera guy! The most smoking hot,redhead in boots and hot pants is tearing a Gretsch to pieces with so much cool it burns, and all I'm seeing is the skinny arse and mop of the bassist. Pissed me off, though I could be obsessed with Poison Ivy I guess. The Cramps always rocked, Lux Forever.
Too many lamo comments (new to the party? that's okay, but mb...), anyway: Yes, there should have been more of Ivy and/or the whole band. Sounds & looks like Lux has a sore throat but he's high &/or drunk enough to barrel through. Slim Chance one of my least fave ever Crampz. Had to take a break after Cramps-tober but back. And here to say that this still woke me the F up. Partly 'cause there's too little live footage of Garbageman, one of the best rawk n roll songs of all time. R.I.P. everybody but Ivy & Miriam.
+Michael Martinez kick ass. among other things, i remember Lux showing the crowd his penis, lol, and the crowd going wild at the end, Surfin' Bird. good times...
Let’s be honest: If you’re a beginner guitarist, can’t sing, barely competent at drums, but have balls, you play punk rock. If your audience is drunk or stoned, they will enjoy it. If they’re skilled and familiar with classic rock, it’s torture to have to endure this.
I'd say some lame-assed guy who was paid to do a job and is as much of a loser in his real life as he is in his job. I'm female who isn't into girls, but even I think she's freaking hot. Most women aren't afraid to acknowledge or appreciate the sexuality of other women. Not only that, but from a musical standpoint, how would anyone who's into music, NOT want to catch what Ivy does when she plays!
No. Some lazy assed guy who was paid to do a "job". No woman who ran a camera would have ignored Ivy, no matter what their sexual inclinations were. No one who's really into music would do that.
